Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

[_baocat]

FYI the Best Buy site they will ship ON Sept 18; not "deliver by Sept 18"

OTOH Best Buy regularly delivers on Sat and Sun.

True, I've always found they have very fast shipping though

My problem is Best Buy is charging $50 more for some odd reason and they won't price match it since it's a preorder...

Best Buy has them for pre-order, yet t-mobile does not..

 

[GIBBI]

Also listed at Amazon Germany now, but a bit more expensive, I think they will correct the price soon.

Ordered mine this morning Blue Aluminum w/ Blue Sport Band, Cellular and GPS. Delivery Oct. 1-8. Hopefully it will be sooner.

Ordered last night at 20:45 (UK time).

Says it’ll arrive on the 28th but I am absolutely certain it’ll be here long before that.

(don’t judge me on the strap; I’m giving my S4 to my partner and she’ll take the new strap)

My wife’s blue with blue sport band is preparing to ship, and my space gray with black sport band hasn’t gotten to prepare to ship yet. Both are scheduled to be delivered Friday.

I guess AT&T aren't doing pre-orders except from Apple. No AW on Best Buy and they state on their website available 9/18 - no pre-order option

Why are you thinking it'll arrive long before the 28th? Mine is in the same position as your Watch, so I'm curious

Mine went to "Preparing to Ship" overnight as well. AW6 Silver Titanium - 44mm- Sept 29-Oct 1

Toronto, Canada here. Any other Canadians with more updates beyond that?

I dont see anything in UPS My choice as of yet though.

 

[Never mind]

What did your update say?

false alarm. I thought it was for my watch, but since I purchased more than one item, that other item will be here on the 18th not the watch itself. Bummer, my mistake. Sorry guys

Just ordered it a moment ago and I am already hating being back on my old Series 0 in the meantime (just sold my Series 5 for an additional 100 bucks of what Apple offered me 💪)

 

[karthikeyanV]

Any Idea when Apple watch models availability in India? Waiting for it.

 

[Calleweird]

Still stuck at processing, not been charged either. Estimated Oct 1st. Expecting the date to get bumped up to this Friday! Belgium.

[AppleWarMachine]

Ordered a Series 6, GPS, 40mm Gold Aluminum with Pink Sand Sport Band w/Apple Care for my wife with a delivery date of Friday, Sept. 18 (a nice upgrade from here series 3)
and a 44mm Obsidian Mist/Black Nike Sport Band for my Series 4 for delivery on Friday as well

 

[Boki123]

Wow most od you guys will get it early compared to Australia dates given atm

 

[_baocat]

What's the rationale behind everyone "expecting" earlier delivery than what's stated?

 

[edlex]

I ordered about 15 minutes after the store opened so I assume they didn’t make many of my combo. Oh well, I’ll have to enjoy watching you guys getting your watches while I wait...

It’s the band that’s causing the delay in release not the watch itself. Btw very nice watch...

I am not surprised. It takes like a week to receive a postcard out of Victoria atm

Ordered on 9/15 as soon as the store went online:

Moving a lot faster than I thought!

 

[Johnny907]

What's the rationale behind everyone "expecting" earlier delivery than what's stated?

Past experiences with Apple. Order shows a later date but then magically item is processed and shipped with a much earlier delivery date. Assumption is Apple’s delivery time algorithm is very conservative and plays it safe to the point it gives out inaccurate estimates.

 

[macnmac]

so is there any difference in the aluminum model of cell vs non-cell
